Deeply falling into a dream, in the fragments of memory, looking for what you want
is reflected in the black tea, the grayness of the hazy sky,
you take it and disappear into the twilight
- Lily Zhou
Green, represents life and hope. Boundless green fields stretch into the distance. A teenager with his head bowed and a silver CD player in his hand stood in the center of hope. Clean white shirt, short blonde hair rendered by the setting sun, thin body and Lily Zhou Ruowu's voice in the air: "You see me, I see you..." Everything is so beautiful. The world breathes transparently, and this world belongs only to Hasumi Yuichi and CD Lily Zhou.
What is the center of hope? Shunji Iwai uses "All About Lily Zhou" to tell us that the center of so-called hope is despair. He chose the cleanest picture, the most beautiful music, and the purest soul, and cruelly let them fall into the abyss of doom together.
The boy in white was sitting in the sunny corridor, and the girl he liked was playing Debussy in the next room. A peaceful sky enveloped him, but what he was waiting for was the school's punishment for his theft. Hasumi Yuichi is so ups and downs, contradictory...
Hoshino became the source of people's pain in "Lily Zhou" because his violence destroyed too much. But even this Hoshino is nothing but a child. His father went bankrupt, his life changed dramatically, and he felt no solace even with a mother who everyone admired by his side. From the moment he ran out of the corner to grab money, he began to change. During the visit to Chongshen Island, he, who also loved Lily Zhou, almost lost his life in order to swim to Aragusuku, a small island with the charm of the sky. His destination seems to be on a small island not far away, but he will never get there. On the way, a traveler with them was hit and killed by a car. Life is impermanent, he is unwilling to endure the bullying of those bad children again and again, the only way is to become a more ruthless character than them.
He fights, targetless insults. He wanted someone to understand him, but, no. He suppressed the pain, and at the same time covered everything with an indifferent expression. He coldly engraved his pain in the hearts of others. Hasumi used to be his best friend, so he willfully vented his depression on Hasumi. He destroyed everything around Lian Jian.
Hasumi silently endured Hoshino's insult unconditionally. He hates reality, he can only tell his feelings about Lily Zhou and Cang Qiong (Lily Zhou's music style) in Lily Zhou's forum again and again, and become friends with the netizen Qingmao. He carries the hope of being pure and arduous. But this kind of hope built on others is like foam on the sea, and as time goes by, the sky is full of black veils. The only option he chose amid the bleak hope and endless pain was to retreat.
Sweet smiles are the hallmark of Japanese girls, whether it is Rika Akana in "Tokyo Love Story" or Shiori Tsuda in "Lily Week", they gently cover all the scars for their lover with the most beautiful smile. Such a smile also carries too much.
Shiori's mobile phone is hung with a lot of ornaments, as complex as the whole world. She was forced to be a prostitute by Hoshino taking nude photos. On the way home to pick up the guests, Hasumi followed her silently. She beat him silently with tears in her eyes, again and again, with the slightest choking in her throat. A woman's future and hope just dimmed little by little. It's the only time she's shown weakness and helplessness in front of someone she likes.
Compared to Shiori Hasumi's favorite Yoko Kuno, she is a perfect woman, with straight long hair and artistic temperament. Debussy's music gurgles out from the piano beside her, as beautiful as the sky. The jealous woman finds Hoshino, and they want to destroy. Everything, one afternoon, an abandoned factory, a woman's heart-wrenching cry...
Lian Jian cowardly looked at the white souls around him. He was distressed, helpless, and puzzled. At the same time, all he did was cry sadly.
Yoko is noble, even if she shaved off her hair. She refused a wig and just wore a grey hat. In Zhang Kangkang's writings, Peony is a silent rebel, just like Yangzi at this time. She rejected all humiliation, contempt, and use with low-key resistance. The Japanese women in my memory should be submissive only to men. But she flew proudly in silence, and was more determined and wonderful than ever. She seems to be the only child who has not changed, she has been flying in her own sky.
At the same time, Shiori was quietly sad and lived a life of forbearance. He likes Hasumi but dares not express it; wants to get rid of everything but no one helps her; wants to be cared for but is afraid of harming the innocent... Is he dirty? When Lianmi asked her why she didn't accept the boy who could protect her, she just smiled and said, "I don't deserve it." She smiled and wanted the people around her to be reassured, she smiled and wanted to tell herself that I didn't care. The harder you pretend, the easier it is to get tired. Little by little she endured not wanting the people around her to worry about her. Laughing and laughing, the string broke. There were a group of kite-flying children in the field. Shiori and them worked hard to control the kite, twitching and pulling the string, smiling very freshly: "I really want to sit on the kite, I want to fly in the sky..." Blood Quietly spread out on the ground around her head. She was flying in the last moments of her life. It's hard to say whether such a death is really as shameful as we think, perhaps, it is a kind of helpless happiness.
The world is beautiful, it's just too dark to see anything.
In Lily Zhou's forum, Hasumi left a message: "I want to die several times, but I can't fall. Falling is like a cycle with no end. I keep falling. Come, save me, come, save me." He didn't want to. Change is just too dependent on the blue cat.
Hoshino is just a cruel creature, but his soul is constantly slashed by himself on Qing Mao's body. His destruction is nothing less than a form of masochism. He willfully destroys the surroundings, but looking back at his true self, all his actions can only make him hate himself even more. The pleasure of pain is like smoking marijuana is addictive, he is sad, he understands all the pain. Crying on the forum: "I am alive, I am alive, and under the pure sky, we are alive!"
He loves Lily Zhou, and he longs to be loved. In the name of the blue cat, he told without demonstration, told. The same boundless green, the same golden sunset, the boy in black lowered his head, Lily Zhou's voice resounded through the sky "You see me, I see you..." He shouted, shouted, released all energy, shouted all Pain... The cry ended abruptly at the end of the song, the tiredness in his eyes disappeared instantly, and numbness covered everything.
In December, at Lily Zhou's concert, he saw the real blue cat - Hoshino. The world is like a thick slurry without a trace of life and no shaking. His despair came to the sky, he shouted to Lily frantically, and at the same time inserted the knife into Hoshino's body... The woman he liked shaved his head and still sat by the piano and played the sky, the boy in white stood by the window, the curtains were lightly lifted, The sunset is gentle. But can he really be able to see the stars with Hoshino in the stable and bright mood when he was in the city?
Youth may itself be confused, and children are afraid of growing up and have to grow up. They face an unknown future with hope, and with nervousness, they accidentally spin into a vortex of madness. Is life in your own hands? do not know. Can't be changed? do not know. Can you tell me? do not know. Can you believe it? Don't know, don't know... Children are confused, they want the most real soul, so they choose the most empty network. They are afraid of harm, and at the same time long to be harmed. The most painful memory comes from the child who cares most. They are looking, looking for a way out, looking for a little love, a little happiness.
It's hard to define how the movie ends. Is it a fresh start or a continuation of the story. Hasumi's hands are already stained with blood, can he still stand clean and spotless in the sun? Will he be another Hoshino or they have passed their painful youth. With Lily Zhou's music and the golden sky, the two survivors stood silently. Heaven, where is it?
No matter what we have experienced, whether it is beauty or pain, youth is always clean, just like our deepest soul, like everything in Lily Zhou.
